Junior Girls Basketball:

The Junior Girls have faced much adversity with many injuries and sickness. This has made even a stronger bond with the remaining players and much personal improvement. The girls played with so much heart in the last three tournaments and ended up defeating Clavet and Vanscoy in the process.Good luck to the players as we take on Stobart in the first round of play offs today.

Senior Girls Basketball:

It has been a very busy month of January for the Senior girls. We have played some very tough teams along the way and have much improved our overall skill level. In our home tournament we managed to play tough against Hague and Hepburn and defeated Stobart in our final game.We will be playing a few more games during the month of February and this weekend we travel to Delisle for an opportunity to play Hepburn once again.
